Shane Eli Songs
Shane Eli ft. Jason Caesar - Die Alone
In his Pensées, the French philosopher Blaise Pascal wrote, “We are fools to depend upon the society of our fellow-men. ...[T]hey will not aid us; we shall Die Alone.” Following February’s Prelude to a Kill, the...Read More
Shane Eli - Prelude to a Kill
With the kind of work Shane Eli‘s been producing, it’s only a matter of time before he gets on—that is, if his breakthrough comes before his equally imminent break down. On Prelude to a Kill, the first song...Read More
The League of Extraordinary Gz - Strange Things
Strange things are happening every day, for those with eyes to see them: police officers get away with murder, mind-expanding drugs carry hefty prison sentences while deadly poisons are available at the corner store, petty...Read More
The League of Extraordinary Gz - Hankuri
UPDATE: Click “Watch Video” for the brand new visuals to Hankuri. Mobile users can scroll down. It’s undeniable. Some songs are just “cooler than Freddie Jackson sippin’ a milkshake in a snow storm,”...Read More
Big Whiskey ft. Teknique, King Mez & Shane Eli - Black Out
When you come to consciousness somewhere other than your bed, without any memory of what you did to get there, odds are the answer’s not going to be anything good. Booth newcomer Big Whiskey is the exception to the...Read More
Sean Fresh ft. Shane Eli - Ghetto
Recently heard collaborating with Booth-acclaimed rhymesayer K. Sparks on inaugural leak Love With a Friend, Sean Fresh has returned to our pages with another exclusive world premiere featuring a reader fave. Contrary to what...Read More
Shane Eli - That Sh*t Cray
No, Shane Eli‘s latest feature isn’t a(nother) N*ggas in Paris freestyle. On the contrary, new promo single That Sh*t Cray finds the Los Angeles fave taking loose inspiration from The Throne‘s mega-hit as he...Read More
Shane Eli - When We Were Kings
Click “Listen Now” above to watch Eli’s “When We Were Kings” video. If the dictionary were to inexplicably start using pictures of rappers to illustrate abstract nouns, then you’d see...Read More
Shane Eli - Us vs. Them (W.A.R.)
With the #Occupy movement continuing to gain steam and the global political mood seeming to grow more turbulent with each passing day, remaining neutral is no longer an option. On newly-released promo single Us vs. Them...Read More
Julius Francis ft. Shane Eli - Sweet Tooth for Love
Last summer, Cali fave Shane Eli enlisted singer Julius Francis as hookman for album leak One Day. Let it not be said that the freestyle alum forgets a favor—more than a year later, Eli joins Francis on Sweet Tooth for...Read More
Shane Eli - When No One Cares
Though you wouldn’t know it from the Booth fave’s usual positivity and drive to succeed, Shane Eli is well-acquainted with the self-perpetuating feelings of loneliness and desperation that take hold of...Read More
Shane Eli - Have Mercy
If you’re looking for music that will shut your brain off and allow you to simply wild out, might I suggest taking the Cowabunga bus to Racksville? But if you want music that will reward you with repeated listens, who...Read More
Shane Eli ft. Playboy Tre & Rittz - Let’s Ride
Good things may not always come to those who wait – if the damn thing wasn’t on track for release (knock on wood), I’d make a Detox joke here – but Booth favorite Shane Eli isn’t about to leave his loyal...Read More
Shane Eli ft. Jason Caesar - The Night Is Young
To say that Shane Eli‘s last feature made an impact would be an early candidate for Understatement of the Year. How is the Cali phenom ever gonna follow up the (dare I say) classic When We Were Kings? Well, he’s...Read More
Shane Eli - I Love You (Kinda)
As we’re all (some of us painfully) aware, tomorrow is the day when romance reigns supreme and couples everywhere get to trumpet their affection for one another while singletons look on wistfully. If you’re...Read More
Shane Eli - Bo Jackson
Like Vincent Edward “Bo” Jackson, who achieved All-Star status in both baseball and football, rapper-producer Shane Eli boasts the rare combo of versatility and outstanding talent – and, unlike the sports legend, who...Read More
Shane Eli ft. Ezekiel Sugarwater - Who Am I
Considering that a knack for narrative is one of the hallmarks of a top-tier emcee, it should come as no surprise that The Push emcee Shane Eli‘s latest effort (a Booth-exclusive world premiere!) comes with an...Read More
Chris Mathien & Shane Eli - Route 66
I’m pretty sure that no one’s referred to the Internet as the “information superhighway” since 1999, but now I’m almost tempted to revive the phrase – let’s just say that, with the Booth’s...Read More
Shane Eli - I Wonder
Shane Eli‘s reader-acclaimed debut full-length, The Push, has been available on our mixtape page for a minute now, but unlike, say, a gallon of milk from your local supermarket, good music stays fresh no matter how long...Read More
Julius Francis ft. Shane Eli - One Day [Premiere]
DJBooth is all about bringing people together. Think of us as the Olive Garden, only with less stale breadsticks and more fresh tunes. And better service. Uh, on second thought, I’m not sure that analogy works at all....Read More
Shane Eli - The Adventure Begins
The 180th entry in our DJBooth.net Freestyle Series comes courtesy of Shane Eli, the California native who earned reader acclaim for cuts like Happiest Regret and I’m a Winner. On his brand new, exclusive The Adventure...Read More

Shane Eli ft. Kamilah Gibson - Happiest Regret [Premiere]
Have you ever experienced a long night of drinking that resulted in uncertain feelings about the sketchy details from the night before? I’m not talking about waking up with Mike Tyson’s tiger like in The Hangover, I’m...Read More

Shane Eli - Haters [Premiere]
After a streak of Booth-approved smashes like I’m a Winner and Taste of What’s to Come, it’s hard for me to imagine that fast-rising L.A. emcee/producer Shane Eli has many haters hoping for his downfall, but on his...Read More

Shane Eli - Taste of What’s to Come [Premiere]
With his last feature, the prophetically titled I’m a Winner, Shane Eli made clear that Grey Area and Knuckle Up were only the beginning of a bona fide hot streak. On mixtape leak numero cuatro (another world...Read More

Shane Eli - I’m a Winner [Premiere]
With the rave Booth reviews he garnered for previously-featured cuts Grey Area and Knuckle Up, Shane Eli has every reason to feel like a champ – but even the highest praise from outside parties is no replacement for a...Read More
Shane Eli - Knuckle Up
On his Booth debut, featured last Thursday, Shane Eli reflected on the difficulty of carving out a personal identity, particularly when one resides in the Grey Area at the center of an racial and cultural divide. As...Read More
Shane Eli - Grey Area
By my estimation, Kanye West has said some of the dumbest and some of the wisest words ever spoken; falling squarely into the latter category is the statement, “Everything I’m not made me everything I am.” Knowing...Read More
